Leave him alone in a separate feeding tank. Count out how many pellets you put in and leave him for 30minutes. When you come back count how many there are. If he hasn't eaten any get some dried shrimp(from a pet store in the reptile section don't make it, cause turtles can only eat some kinds of shrimp, others can hurt them.) If he doesn't go for the shrimp then buy some feeder fish, If you have other turtles then let them kill and rip into a fish, and offer then some chunks of raw fish to him. Swivel it right under his nose in the water. He will probably go for it. Fish is they're natural prey so one that has been killed and ripped into gives off a tempting smell for the turtle. If you don't have any other turtles then you can try holding the fish over the turtles head or in front of him. He might try to bite it, let him. It's not fun to do but the baby needs to eat.

Do all red-ear slider turtles eat fish?
Yes. The most common fish a Red Eared Slider will eat is Commet Goldfish. Red eared sliders will eat fish, but fish are full of worms and parasites which will contaminate your filter. For an indoor slider I suggest only pellets and veggies. Plus they eat parts of the fish and the rest you would have to clean out right away. My slider loves just his pellets, he snubs romaine lettuce and any other veggie I have tried. Ice berg lettuce is not good for sliders either. I have a 4 year old slider that is 5 inches long he is in a 40 gallon tank alone.

Can you put a baby red ear slider with a adult red ear slider?
Depending. If it's a tiny baby there would be problems but with a baby from about at least 4-5 inches long he should be safe with an adult. The only problem would be if it was a male. My answer: If the adult was fully grown and the baby was new born, bad idea. There's a good chance the adult may try to eat the baby. I know because I have two red sliders, one a bit younger than the other :)
